I bought this case for a first time build.
The aim was to create a system I could overclock and not have to worry about the cooling being limited by the case.
This case is amazing for airflow.
I have the stock 140mm and 120mm exhaust fans in as well as two extra 120mm Antec intake fans. This case gives off cold air because it's that open nothing inside actually seems to heat up.
My GPU runs at around 30 degrees Celsius as an average and my CPU doesn't seem to be much higher.
For under £50 the build quality is superb as well.
The front mesh is pristine and the drive bay slots blend in with the whole front. Rubber feet on the bottom give an extra sense of security as well as cutting down on noise. Tool-less slots are available for several drives, including 3 external 5.25" drives and 5 internal 3.5" drives (if memory serves).
The only problems for me are on the front panel where the USB, mic and headphone sockets are.
The mic and headphone sockets feel a little stiff when putting a jack into them and don't give a satisfying click that suggest the jack plugged into them is actually in properly, and the USB sockets seem shallow and there is a seemingly considerable amount of exposed USB plug. But they both work fine and you can't expect much better for such an inexpensive product.
The size of the case is pretty standard, but can get cramped if you have a lot of PSU wires hanging about. There is a small cable management pocket near the front, but this seems to be mainly for the two optional front fans as it's a little out of the way for any other wires.
Overall I am very pleased with this product and would definitely recommend to a friend or buy again if I was to build another system.
